About JF Pilates classes

 

My Pilates classes are carefully planned in advance with a different focus or theme for each and a progressive approach. Class content consists of a continuous flow of movements that are well balanced and designed to develop and strengthen, stretch and tone, as well as mobilise your joints. 

I ensure that you are well supported and able to perform the exercises properly, so that you understand what you are trying to achieve and how you can benefit the most. You can also practice as much as you like in between your class should you wish, as I record, edit and upload my weekly Pilates class to my On Demand Video Library.

You will certainly develop movement skills that you never thought you had - or had perhaps been long forgotten. One thing is sure; by the end of each of your Pilates classes, whether face-to-face or online, you will have used every muscle! 

JFP Renew & Restore Pilates 

These classes are great if are a beginner and brand new to Pilates exercise, as a refresher if you have done Pilates in the past and want to take it up again, or simply if you would like to participate in a class that is slower and restorative. Whatever your level or need, I cover all the basics you need to be able to progress at your own pace.

JFP Core Pilates 

In these classes I cater for all different levels and abilities, so that you can keep the exercises more gentle, or you can progress and challenge yourself with more progressive, higher level movement options. These classes are fantastic way to further develop your knowledge and experience of Pilates. 

JFP Core+ Pilates

 

During all of these classes I offer progressive and more dynamic exercise options, which are ideal for you if you already have a good level of fitness from other types of activities, or sport, or if you already have a good knowledge of Pilates exercise and are looking for that extra challenge.

What do I need to take part? 

 

All you need to do to take part in Pilates are some comfortable clothes, and if taking part in online classes, a space to lie down and access to a laptop, PC, iPad, tablet or mobile phone. A mat is optional, although most people tend to have their own. If not you are welcome to borrow one of mine. A Pilates head cushion can be useful, or a folded towel will do the same job if you do not have one. 

Online classes take place via the online meeting platform ZOOM which is ever so easy to set up. If you are not so sure, you can always contact me to help you and you can also take a look at my ZOOM Hints and Tips article in my blog area.

Points to remember

 

You should always listen to your own body and work at a level that is right for you, especially when participating in online classes. I aways say that nothing I say is ever compulsory; if you feel like you need to take a rest that is absolutely what you must do. 

If at any point during your class you begin to feel faint, dizzy or have physical discomfort, you should stop immediately and seek medical advice. Please follow instructions careful and apply your judgement regarding the suitability of any exercises, choosing the level and any progressions that are appropriate for you, and resting when you need to do so. 

By participating in Pilates classes, you are doing so at your own risk. Jane Fletcher Pilates is not responsible or liable for any injury or harm you may sustain as a result of taking part.   

If you are currently seeing a health practitioner regarding any medical / physical complaint it is advisable to get advice from them first before you undertake any form of exercise.

Enjoy!
